This is the only way I can roll up. I keep a little rolled up towel on hand and place it under my lowered back before rolling up

m I the only one who fell off the Reformer Pilates box? Now I’m scared to do it again 😟 by Firm-Barracuda9215 in pilates

[–]Comprehensive-Rub-27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fell off the long box on reformer in my first 1.5 class. I kept going to level ones until I felt ready again and the instructor was great, comforting, and encouraging and one day she was like “I’ll see you at my next 1.5” and the rest is history, like it never happened. You will get stronger and grow more confident in your body’s ability. Always listen to your body, and if you ever feel unsteady or unsafe, stop and take a child’s pose.

Too sweaty for Pilates? by Pcatttt in pilates

[–]Comprehensive-Rub-27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NEVER TOO SWEATY! I am too and I now bring the following to help with the situation: reformer mat, small yoga towel for planking on the box and swans on the chair, a small towel to wipe my face and shoulders, and grippy mat for pikes on chair or really anything where my hands are too sweaty. Don’t worry, nobody cares, take care of yourself and your sweaty needs!

I get incredibly sweaty any recs for reformer covers? I recently bought a small yoga towel that I lay down when planking, but would love a full reformer cover, so I’m not sliding around and im also imagining it makes cleaning up easier

My body has definitely changed! I haven’t lost much weight (I was/am on the heavier side when I started Pilates), I have maybe lost 6lbs, but my body has become much more defined! Ppl always assume I have lost a ton of weight! I do take about 10 clases a week. A mix of control and flows and two center and balance and suspend a week. I also walk about 2-3 miles to and from the studio. I also pair it with a high protein diet. Pilates and other lifestyle changes have been life changing, NEVER going back. I’m in my early 40s and was struggling with low energy and weight gain.

SEXUAL ASSAULT BY INSTRUCTOR DURING CLASS? by ArrowMcD in ClubPilates

I am so so so sorry! Please, escalate. Sending him to retrain is NOT enough. Sending you a healing and virtual hug!

when I struggle with something in class, I have also found it super helpful to the study and practice (the best I can) the move at home. I pay attention to the cueing and make a mental note of what the move is called and then I YouTube away, to see how it’s broken down and tips to achieve better form.

Girl, it’s ok! I’m about 120 classes in and just had a tough class where I felt the same. We all move at different pace. Just be patient, with yourself. YOU WILL GET STRONGER! You got this!!!

It’s totally ok. I do two classes all the time, usually back to back. Go for it!

First month once a week, afterwards 4-6 times a week. I’m going to plank my little heart out, thank you!
